Lodging a submission

You can post or deliver your submission to the Planning Department at the Rangiora Service Centre, or drop it off at the Oxford or Kaiapoi Service Centres. We must receive your submission on or before the submission closing date stated on the public notice or letter.

Please remember to send a copy of your submission to the applicant at the address given on their public notice or letter.

What happens next?

A hearing is usually held to make a decision on the application. This is not always the case. In some circumstances, if a notified application receives no submissions, the District Plan Manager has the authority to sign off the application, without the hearing process taking place. If unsure on this matter, please talk to the Senior Planning Officer.
